I’m interested in your thoughts on the reactor, I have a bashsea but I stopped using it and just put carbon in a bag in the sump now because it was a bit of a pain to change out.

As for the orphek mine is mounted from the ceiling 16” above my tank. I bought it for a tank I never bought (I was planning a 3’ x 2’ x 18” deep build but went with a nuvo 25 instead that I ended up putting a new kessil over) so it is over my nano right now so I can’t really tell you how it would work on a bigger tank like yours. My personal opinion is that you should go with 2 full size fixtures over your tank. The full size is not that much more than the compact and with the panel style of the orphek you would essentially have the same light diffusion that you get from T5’s. The panels are 9” deep so lots of coverage that way as well but if you did see any shadowing down the line you can easily add their new OR light strips (which I hear they are working on a dimmer for). The fact you are going to mount them lower than what orphek recommends (their recommendation is for light blending I believe) also is a good reason for the bigger panels.

Many thanks for your opinion which is highly appreciated @lbacha but after talking to one of the Crew members @Bulk Reef Supply , one of the Techs said the Compacts would be a absolute perfect fit for my tank spec is 5ftx2ftx2ft/
I will be placing my order for a pair of those @Orphek Atlantik Compact V4 (Gen 2) LED fixtures tonight after work.
Also, I will be getting there Gateway which provides a connection between the Atlantik V4 (Gen 2) light and your homes wireless router.

As far as the Nyos #TORQ media reactors, I JUST tracked it and according to UPS it will be here tomorrow or on Monday. I ordered the small one thats 0.75 since I will only be running BRS ROX 0.8 Carbon since I will be running a Turbo Algae Scrubber from Turbo Aquatics. All I know about these new #TORQ REACTORS I have read nothing buy good reviews not to mention I seen it in person and how well this reactor performed @ Reef-A-Palooza 2018 in Orlando last year and I was instantly fell in love with theses reactors. I will post some pictures as soon I receive my reactor.PER UPS:Your package is on time with a scheduled delivery date of 01/12/2019Scheduled Delivery: 01/14/2019Shipped To: FL, USUPS Service: UPS 2nd Day Air®Weight: 5.0 lbs

Ones I spend another 2K for my lighting system for my SCA 150 build. Ones, I get these lights from BRS, MY **** FLSHARKVICTIM CUSTOM RIMLESS SCA 150 BUILD will be completed *****I was not sure this journey would ever end and that was just selecting all of the gear I specifically wanted. Did not want to cut any corners since this could be my last build!

*** Got a new update *** My new #NYOS #TORQ media reactor and base has shipped out from https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/ and I should have it on either Saturday or Sunday - YAHOOO. Anyone on here every tray the NYOS Activated Carbon by chance and what were your thoughts about it? Here are some pictures of the new #TORQ in the 3 different models they come in: I chose the little one likwe I mentioned earlier in my thread, only since I will be running BRS ROX 0.8 Carbon.
